Did the fluid change this evening Geezzz
The gearbox fluid drains right on the cross over pipe, so that will need some brake cleaner to get that off.
Had to make a run to the hardware store to get some hose to be able to reach the engine oil filler hole.

How are you supposed get fluid in the rear drive unit, that top hole is minuscule !

The short handle wrenches worked well to limit the torque applied putting the drain plugs back in,
I use a palm ratchet on the filter bolt.
It wasn’t that tight coming out, I went as tight as I could with the palm ratchet and it’s back the way I found it...

I have a set of those palm ratchets. I use them all the time to get things snug and then use a ratchet handle when access to swing the handle is limited. It amazing how much more torque you can get than just your thumb and finger.
You did under fill the engine a bit I hope?
 
I ended up buying a squirt bottle at the $1 junk store for the transmission oil, took 4 Ever to get 170ml in there.
I did use 2 L of oil for the change, went for a spin, checked after and it was just at the Minimum line.

Plugs, valves and air filter next !
( Dam it sounds fine with those pipes !)

Thanks for the note on draining the gearbox oil. I would use tin foil above the crossover pipe to protect it.
